Hat News & Speciality Market has proudly served the amazing community of Medicine Hat for nearly 40 years. It’s The Hat’s go-to, one-stop, independently owned Mom and Pop shop.
Your convenience store with OH SO MUCH MORE! Offering an eclectic lineup of all the items you’d expect to find in a corner convenience store, and as we say at Hat News: “If we don’t have it you don’t need it”.
At Hat News, you will find Medicine Hat’s best lineup of products including a huge selection of magazines, collector coins, and collector supplies. We’ve dubbed our large candy selection as “Candyland”, 12 flavors of slushes, soft-serve ice cream, and fresh-popped popcorn made daily. You’ll also find fishing and hunting licenses with bait and tackle.
At Hat News, we believe in supporting local! That’s why throughout the store you can find quality products from local suppliers and producers. From fresh-baked sweets to Open-range chicken we truly live up to our name!
From confectionary to the humidor, from pipe to fishing license’s, we have something to lure in even the most discerning of shoppers! We even have Medicine Hat’s only adult novelties (18+) room where you can shop and browse discreetly to indulge your more playful side.
Friendly staff, awesome selection.. it's my favourite corner store in the city. I've grown up coming here and spending my allowance and now as an adult I still come here whenever I need a treat.
24/7 convenience store in the middle of the city. Slushes, magazines, snacks, and a little bit more for the +18 crowd. Can't go wrong.
This place has it all. Anything you would go to a corner store for, they have a huge selection of. This is probably the most well stocked convenience store I have ever been to.
Despite it being a tobacco store, the staff were very helpful when I decided to quit smoking and switch to vaping... Lowest prices in town and the staff are very knowledgable... Great service, great staff, great prices, I definetly recommend this store to other people out there.
Hat News is alot like Bob's in Lethbridge. They got anything you need there, always have been able to. But Hat News and Tobacco is gone. Unfortunately their hours of operation have been cut back by about 12 hours each day, this is not a complaint. Hat News have reinvented themselves over the past what?...year? They carry TONS of locally made goods=not hypocrites who actually DO support local. You can buy things you had no idea anyone in town carried. Redcliff Bakery, and many local producers are now much easier to get for Hatters who cannot get to Redcliff. Hat News has gone under a total redesign and it is worth your time to check it out. I do not know how you staff a 24hr store with employees if their caliber so their new hours are a fine trade off. it's the employees that make this store what it is. I do not know how they tolerate the entire spectrum of the public...good and not so good; How Hat News finds these people who work in one of the hardest retail environments around is beyond me. See how they have changed. They are humans too.
We offer a unique, nonjudgemental shopping experience. Always ready to serve you with a smile. We look forward to helping you soon @hatnewspecialtiesmarket on the beautiful hill community in SE Medicine Hat next to @hatliquor
SEE YOU SOON!
